TL;DR

  • When? The next In-Person Motoko Bootcamp will take place May 8–14, 2023!

If there is one thing we’ve learned during the previous Bootcamp is that physical events are powerful. The energy, the atmosphere, the sense of community, being in the same room with other people, sharing an experience together, feeling the excitement and anticipation build… there is nothing like it!

Coding never stops. Even during dinner time!

If you wanna see how awesome the previous physical edition was, we made a video that you can watch for yourself and be blown away.

As we’ve already announced, the next Motoko Bootcamp will take place in less than 3 months: May 8–14th, 2023! This places the Bootcamp only 1 week before the 1st ICP Community Conference (16th-17th) and the Bitcoin 2023 Miami conference (May 18th-20th).

Our team will be there, in South Florida (near Miami), during the Bootcamp and we’re inviting all students, mentors, and Bootcamp enthusiasts to join us.

What is the offer?

We are still in the early days of planification and don’t have the exact details figured out yet (location, prices, and details of activities…). If you are someone living in South Florida or you have contacts over there, please reach out!

The offer is simple, we offer one package (price TBD) and then we take care of everything — we will provide:

  • A nice location to stay and rest during the week. 🛌
  • A shared office for all Bootcamper, so we call work and build together. 👨‍💼
  • Delicious food & coffee break for your brain to stay powered throughout the week. ⚡️

We are also planning on having various activities such as:

  • Morning workouts 🏋️
  • Games sessions 🎲
  • Late-night coding (for the braves) 👨‍💻
  • Night out 🍻

And of course, the main point of the week is to learn how to build on the Internet Computer; using a new programming language called Motoko. You will directly benefit from being at the physical edition by connecting with us, learning from experienced entrepreneurs within the ecosystem, and having access to direct mentorship!

Partnership with ICP Community Conference

Code & State is excited to announce the 1st ever ICP Community Conference! The 2-day annual ecosystem event is scheduled for May 16th-17th in southern Florida, just 2 days after the Bootcamp. The conference will showcase, educate, and connect entrepreneurs building on the Internet Computer. Check out the dedicated article for more information.

Motoko Bootcamp and the ICP Community Conference have partnered to offer you the full experience in May! If you participate in the Motoko Bootcamp, you’ll receive reduced rates for the conference ticket. It’s the perfect way to take advantage of both opportunities and kill two birds with one stone!

How can I contribute or get involved?

We are looking for sponsors or volunteers to help us organize the event. If you are a local supporter or interested in helping out, please reach out.

Excited to join us? Fill out the application form to get notified about location & prices. See you in May!
